If HRC is nominated WITHOUT a primary challenge:

[Ken Burch]

94. AFAIK, You NEVER called Reagan Democrats, (and I doubt you ever called Democrats for Nixon)

"Right-Leaning independents".

Most likely, you never said a thing about the old Southern Dem Congressmen who were committee chairs but(even in the Seventies and Eighties)NEVER endorse the Democratic presidential ticket...something that(as black Democrats pointed out at the time)should have COST them their committee chairs, according to the party rules.

And you were probably fine with Dems who voted for Fritz Hollings for the Senate in SC, but wouldn't do a damn thing to help Mondale(solely because Mondale had backed the black freedom movement).

Nor, to my knowledge, did you ever question the party loyalty of Dems who backed Charlie Crist(at that point still basically a moderate Republican)in his always hopeless independent U.S. Senate campaign against actual Democratic nominee Kendrick Meek in Florida, OR ever use that the loyalty of the INCUMBENT SENATE DEMOCRATS who campaigned for right-wing independent Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Senate race against the actual Democratic nominee Ned Lamont.

And if Jesse Jackson or Dennis Kucinich had ever been nominated, you'd have likely attacked THEM and not the right-wing nominal Dems who'd have refused to support them.

It's ONLY people who question the party from the Left who get the "you're not a Democrat" treatment from you.

And I seriously doubt that you, personally, have any greater absolute party loyalty than any left-Dem. It's just that you've assigned the "more loyal than thou" role to yourself, and that is not something you are entitled to do.

You are simply another registered Dem...you are not ABOVE the rest of us.

It should be enough for you to simply disagree with people.
